PICKLES should never be kept in glazed

THE FEDERATION OF LABQRs
sisted-Mr. Gompers Re-elected.
baltimore special.l

bpeClhl.l
At the session of the American Fedora
ton of Labor on Friday the per capita tax
was reduced from to of cent month.
All State federations are to lie taxed $25
annually. 1t was voted TO employ a salaried
organizer. A resolut on compelling local
unions to unite into State federations was
rejected. The constitution was adopted as
amended.
1t was decided not to send delegates to
the Trades Union Congress at London
next wear. It was resolved to ask Con-
gress to shorten the hours of labor in view
of the decreased number of workmen
needed on account of labor-saving ma
chinery. The committee on the growth of
the order reported that the rapid growth OF
the order resulted from the first avowed
purpose of the federation to allow each
trade 10 govern itself; second. to the dis
content of the Knights of Labor. The
committee recommended, by reason of the
mismanagement Of the Lnights of Labor,
and their desperate use of strikes. that the
federation use its utmost endeavor to re-
sist the encroachments of the Knights OF
Labor, as that organization showed itself
opposed to trades unionism. The report
was adopted with enthusiasm. The fol-
lowing officers were elected by acclamation:
President, Samuel l.. Gompers. New York,
representing the International Cigar-makers'
Union First Vice President, Daniel McLaugh-
lin representing the Illinois Miners Associa-
tion Second Vice President, William Martin,
Of the Amalgamatel Iron and Steel Workers
Association Secretary, Il. j. Mcclure, Of the
Philadelphia Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners Treasurer, Gabriel Edmondson, of the
Washington Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners
1t was decided to hold the next conven-
tion in st. Louis.

Party of New York.
lSyracuse IN. " special
The Anti Saloon Republican State Com
mittee adopted a platform declaring that
there is an irrepressible conflict between
the liquor traffic and Christian civilization;
that the saloon ought to be utterly extir-
pated, because the proprietors have COM
bined in open war against the American
Sabbath; that the compact between brewers
and distillers has reached point where
the Republican party must accept the issue
and with mo uncertain sound declare de-
termined hostility to these enemies OF good
morals and the sacred institutions OF our
land. or abandon their claims to be party
of law and order, opposed to vice and crime,
anarchy and socialism" The platform
points to Pennsylvania as an example of
success resulting from bold stand, and
favors prohibition amendments and local
option and restriction by taxation.

ignorant or delibcratly disinsenuous, for the

GAMBLERS NOT WANTED.

Co!far Commoner: A professional
gambler, known by the name of H,rry
Brown, who has been hanging around
ColIax for some tim,, was arrai.ned b..
fore Justice Shaw on Monday morni1-,
on a charge Of assault with deadly
weapon, and was bound over in the sun
OF $500 to appear before the grand jury.
The bonds were furnished by Brown in
the shape Of the requisite amount in
money, who Immediately on release
skipped for other fields. The facts con.
nccted with the matter are about as fol-
lows: On Saturday evening last Brown
secured permission into the opera hall,
then being occupied by the members OF
the dancing class and club. This pres.
ence proved obnoxious, aud he was po
itely asked to leave, his admission fee
being r-turned at the same time. lIisle.
quest was made by George Chapman, at
the solicitation of many others, which was
received with oaths and a fat denial TO
acccde. The matter was dropped, as the
young men of the club did not wish to
create disturbance at that time aud
place. On Sunday evening while Geo
Chapman aud others were in the cracker
bakery, Brown put in his appearance
and at once seized upon the form +, aud
with an exclamation delugcd him vth
torrent Of tobacc, spit, and striking
simultaneously. This brought on few
blows, when friends of Chapman came
to his aid, which proved too much for
the belligorant tobacco fond and knife
and revolver were drawn. At this
time Of the proceedings others stepped in
and the trouble brought to an end The
gamblers arrest was made on the follow
ing morning with result as stated before.
1t is obseaved, also, that several other
chad men" saw fit to shake the snow of
Colfax off their feet at the same time
and seek more congcnial clmes for the

Modest Request.
We take from the Oreqonian:

we take IRON the CregOntdn:
"There are some people at the east
who are ardent seekers after knowledge
and don't appear to mind putting any
one to some little trouble in their quest.
For Instance, party from that section
wrote to Surveyoi-Geheral Taylor few
days since asking to be furnished with
list Of the land open for settlement under
tho homestead and presumption laws in
Oregon, accompanied by description of
the land, character of the soil, ETC., etc,
and also modestly asking for the same
information in regard to Washington
Territory. As the r,qucst was not ac-
companied by a postage stamp and
$1,000, which is about what it would
cost to furnish the desired information,
the anxious inquiries will probably con
tinue to burst with ignorance.
1t would seem that many persons OF
the cast are Of the opinion that all that
public men, and especially editors, have
to do out west is to answer al questions
that may be asked by every numskull
residing in the east, and that without
compensation. Some editors 10 the west
would be compelled to employ one or
two extra clerks to answer the numerous
calls for answers to enquiries in which
they have no particular interest. We do
not believe that if these answers could all
be given to suit those numerous writer's
and they could be induced to come to
this country aud settle, they would make
god citizens, because they go upon the
principle Of sponging all they can from
westers men, without giving anything
